Concept Search - What can I type?

For a concept search, you can enter phrases, sentences, or full paragraphs in English. For example, copy and paste the abstract of a patent application or paragraphs from an article.

Concept search eliminates the need for complex Boolean syntax to inform retrieval. Our Semantic Gist engine uses advanced cognitive semantic analysis to extract the meaning of data. This reduces the chances of missing valuable information, that may result from traditional keyword searching.

Method of Showing Word Equivalents in a Readable Format
in Machine Translation

Disclosed is
a mechanism to show word equivalents in a
readable format in machine translation by adding formatting
information automatically.

The
correspondences of translated words are not always word-to-
word relations but may be word-to-structured-segment, such as
word-to- compound-word, word-to-phrase, or word-to-sentence,
relations. Words with such relations may occur several times in the
same document. Translating them in the same way, each time they
occur, may degrade the readability of the document.

In such
cases, various methods of improving readability, such
as acronyms, parentheses, and footnotes, are commonly used.

Our system
takes documents with formatting information, such as
SCRIPT, as input, and outputs documents with other formatting
information added, utilizing such formatting techniques.
An overview of the system is shown
in Fig. 1.
The components are described below.
1. Input Document and Output Document
An input document is a document in
the source language
(SL) that includes formatting
information. An output
document is a document in the
target language (TL). A
formatter needs an output document,
a header file that
involves contracted word
equivalents and their
formatting information, and a
procedure file that
involves definitions of procedures
for added formatting
information.
2. Format Preservation
This process preserves the
formatting information of an
input document and transfers it to
an output document
unchanged (1,2).
3. Translation

This process
translates a document in SL into a
document in TL.
4. Bilingual Dictionary
Correspondences between words in SL
and word
equivalents in TL are described in
a bilingual
dictionary. Our method needs
additional information on
contraction levels and contracted
forms. Contraction
levels are shown in Table 1.
5. Dictionary Lookup
At first this process returns to the translation
process a content that is obtained
from a bilingual
dictionary. Since the content may
contain several
candidates, it should receive
notification from the
translation process of which word
was selected. It then
decides whether a contracted form
should be adopted by
the evaluation function.
